The Raspberry Financier with gooseberry jam and shredded coconut was a masterpiece of plant based baking and the Raw Lemon Cheesecake was creamy with an intense lemon sourness. A White Chocolate and Pistachio cookie with sweet white chocolate, a hint of salt and a sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries was moist, chewy and crunchy in perfect unison. And finally, a Strawberry Tartlet that was a light and sweet creation kind of like a strawberry filled cloud in a short pastry casing. Chef Yumiko, we salute you! … [Read more...] about Vegan delights in Paris and London

Hotel Review: Kimpton Fitzroy In London
The Palm Court is simply gorgeous and I can’t imagine it’s possible to enter without smiling and falling a little in love. I wanted to describe it as an orangery but this isn’t technically correct, rather it has a large vaulted glass ceiling, but somehow orangery seems to conjure a more appropriately romantic vibe. Every inch is packed with plants, there’s so much light, large sofas and lots of beautiful things. Afternoon tea is the classic meal to take here but we found it just as inviting at night when it’s quieter but no less beautiful. … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Kimpton Fitzroy In London

The only thing I thought it was rather strange was the mismatch of toiletry brands. We had a mix of Bulgari, Penhaligon’s and Molton Brown and I found that really bizarre. You will know that some of these brands made my ‘toiltetries worth stealing list’, and I will admit that I behaved very well, except for one item: the Molton Brown African Whitewood face wash which was really foamy and smelled divine. It is from the Men’s range (but who cares?). The good thing is that I also got some more at a recent stay in London. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone. … [Read more...] about Lux Hotel Review: Belmond La Residencia, Mallorca
